    Fighters like Darnell Boone? He dropped Ward, KO'd Stevenson, took Kovalev to an SD

    Ward, Kovalev, and maybe the last threat to either (& their P4P status) in Stevenson, and Darnell Boone has properly tested all of them, yet is 23-23-4..
    These boxing anomalies, has there been others? Accepted, the stevenson loss was avenged, ward climbed off the canvas to win their fight, and kovalev made sure there was no split decision in the rematch, but he's the only real blemish for all of them, he's the single common factor

        Yeah some fighters are better than the record suggests. When you take a closer look, you'll see that they typically take fight on short notice and have split focus.

          I would say Salido somewhat fits the bill too. No one has an easy fight with him.

              Bert Cooper is one guy who had a bit of a similar path to Boone. He was a heavyweight in the early 90's.

                Yea I miss Augustus, one of the most entertaining fighters of all time... If he had better management he would of been a star... hope he's recovering well.

                But he was robbed a lot too, remember the Courtney Burton fight. One of (if not the)worst/most disgusting fights in history.
